Jason ... I remember the times we both ran the tracks and compared
our trophies and medals. We were both winners in our own ways. Now
you are gone I have to cherish those memories. I have no one else to
compare with.

Jason... We shared our interest in music. While you were drumming,
I was singing. You tried to teach me to play the steel pan, but we never
finished. I hope some day you will fulfill your dreams. Bye.
